Direct/Pure Audio button [54]
Press to switch between the direct and pure audio modes.
Direct: The direct mode outputs the sound without sound adjustment or filtration. In the direct mode, even if the Subwoofer setting of the Speaker Config sub-menu is set to “Yes,” no sound is output from the subwoofer and the left and right channels are output, as is, to the left and right speakers. Even for multichannel input signals, the sounds are not passed through the sound adjustment circuits.
Pure Audio: Same as the direct mode except that the pure audio mode also turns off the display window, turns off the power supply to the video circuitry, and minimizes the sources of noise. The result is high-fidelity music playback true to the original source.

Press the Rec Out button to output the audio and video signals to a recording component for recording purposes. Press the Zone 2 button to enjoy the output from the DTR-8.2 in a different room, which is referred to as a remote zone (Zone 2).
When either button is pressed, the currently selected input source for recording or outputting to the remote zone is displayed in the front panel display. If “SOURCE” is displayed, then the same input source as that selected for the main zone will be output.

2)and then press one of the input source buttons within 5 seconds. That source will be output for recording or viewing in the remote zone.
